Actors’ Equity Association Celebrates International Stage Management Day

This Monday, October 10, marks International Stage Management Day. These workers are indispensable to creating live entertainment, navigating issues ranging from time budgeting to workplace safety. Actors’ Equity Association represents thousands of these workers across the United States, and these artists may be less visible than their colleagues onstage, but their tireless dedication to their craft is equally as important to ensuring that a production runs smoothly for all workers involved.

If you know a stage manager, give them a big thank you on Monday. And the next time you attend a live performance, take a moment to appreciate the highly skilled labor that goes on behind the scenes.
